Pete
Yes it does but it gets in the way of the side stand, which means that the side stand gets in the way when[ you kick it :?
Prob going to cut it off, depends if it pisses me off :lol:

quote="Green Goblin"]Is there any more yellow pint on her other than the handle bars? [/quote]
Not found any as yet, the side pannles are plain green plastic havent dug away at anything else yet.
What does yellow paint mean?

Looks like the whole bike was painted in sand/desert camo at one point, think it was green origionally then yellow ant then green again.

Headers look ok but mid section could be a problem.
Changed front wheel over for a nice one inc speedo drive thingy.
Went round with wire bruch and rear hub looks to be corroding around were spokes attach :?
Drained oil replaced knackered sump plug.
Just need new front brake cable and oil filter.
